General Questions
Can you move a container that’s already on my property?
Yes. We specialise in relocating existing containers and can move them anywhere on your site, depending on access.
What size containers can you move?
We typically move 10ft, 20ft and 40ft containers, depending on site conditions and access.
How long does a job usually take?
Most container moves are completed within 1–2 hours, depending on site complexity and access.
Do I need to be present during the job?
It is preferred so we can confirm placement, but it’s not essential if clear instructions are provided.
Access and Placement
How much access space do you need?
Much less than a tilt tray. If a small vehicle can access your site, there is a strong chance we can too.
Can you place containers behind houses or buildings?
Yes. We regularly place containers behind houses, sheds, fences and in tight or confined spaces.
Can you move containers into tight spaces?
Yes. Our service is specifically designed for restricted access and areas where trucks cannot operate.
Can you adjust placement once the container is on-site?
Yes. We can fine-tune positioning to ensure the container is placed exactly where you need it.
Delivery and Repositioning
Can you fix container placement after delivery?
Yes. We can reposition containers if they have been placed incorrectly by a delivery truck.
Do I need to organise this before delivery?
Not necessarily. We can assist after delivery or coordinate with your delivery if needed.
Do you work with delivery companies?
Yes. We often work alongside tilt tray deliveries to assist with final placement.
Can you move a container from the driveway to the backyard?
Yes. This is one of the most common requests we handle.
Property and Safety
Will it damage my lawn or driveway?
Our equipment is designed to minimise ground impact and reduce the risk of damage to surfaces.
Is your method safer than a crane or tilt tray?
In many situations, yes. Our approach provides more control and reduces the risk of damage in tight or restricted spaces.
Cost and Service
Is this more cost-effective than hiring a crane?
In most cases, yes. Our service avoids the need for crane hire and reduces the risk of additional delivery costs.
What makes your service different?
We specialise in final placement, not just delivery. We can access areas trucks cannot reach and position containers with precision.
